Cheap custom software development in Chattogram does not have to mean a half-finished tool a college student abandons after taking your advance. It can mean a senior operator with no agency overhead, charging you for the build and nothing else.
I am RH Fardin — a solo developer who builds custom software for Chattogram businesses that need a real internal system but have been quoted lakhs by software houses on GEC for it. Trading firms around Agrabad, distributors moving stock across the port city, clinics and schools drowning in registers: you do not need a 50-person agency to build a stock tracker, a billing system or a custom admin panel.
You need one experienced person who scopes it tightly, builds only what you actually use, and does not pad the quote with three layers of management you will never meet. Low cost custom software development in Chattogram starts at 50,000 BDT with me — 50% advance, 50% on launch, full design approved before any code is written.

Every Chattogram owner who messages me about cheap custom software is afraid of the same two things, and they are opposite fears. The first: a GEC software house quotes them three or four lakh for a stock-and-billing system that, when they describe it, is genuinely a 90,000-taka job — the price is high because there is a salesman, a project manager, a designer and three juniors all needing to be paid out of one invoice.
The second, worse fear: they go cheap to dodge that, hand the work to a part-timer or a student for 20,000 taka, get a half-working tool with no error handling that corrupts data the first time two people use it at once, and lose both the money and three months. So they freeze, keep running the business on Excel and a WhatsApp group, and the registers keep growing.
The honest middle they are looking for is exactly the lane I work in: senior engineering, priced without the agency tax, built tightly enough that 50,000 to 1,50,000 taka actually buys finished software instead of a demo.
Cheap is the wrong word for what actually makes software affordable, so let me name the real thing: scope discipline. The reason most software costs too much is that nobody said no to features. A distributor near Agrabad asks for a stock system and a software house quotes a full ERP with HR, accounting and a customer portal bolted on — three lakh of things he will never open. I do the opposite.
On the first call I find the two or three things the software absolutely has to do well — track stock across his two godowns, print a delivery challan, show who owes him money — and I build exactly that, properly, and nothing else. That is how low cost custom software development in Chattogram is honestly possible: not by writing worse code or skipping testing, but by refusing to build the eighty percent of an off-the-shelf system that you were never going to use anyway.
There is a Chattogram-specific reason the cheap-and-broken route burns people here especially badly. So much of this city runs on trade and movement — import-export desks, C&F clearing, commodity distribution feeding the port, wholesalers off Khatunganj and Reazuddin Bazar moving real volume on credit. The software for those firms is not decorative; it is tracking money and stock that move every single day.
When a 20,000-taka tool loses a day of entries or shows the wrong balance to a credit customer, that is not a bug, that is a loss the owner eats. And the people on the keyboard are usually a godown keeper or a counter boy on a mid-range Android who needs Bangla labels and a screen that does not fight them.
Custom software development in Chattogram BD has to survive both the daily money-pressure and the Bangla-first, mobile-first floor — and that survival is exactly what the part-timer skips to hit the cheap price.
My pricing is fixed and I will give you the koto-taka answer plainly on the first call, no quote letter games. Focused custom tools — a single-purpose internal app, a stock-and-order tracker, a custom admin panel, a billing or attendance system — start at 50,000 BDT. 90,000 BDT covers a more complete internal system with multiple modules and user roles. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller business system tying inventory, sales or operations together with proper reporting.
Genuinely large software — a real ERP, a C&F or logistics platform, a multi-godown system from a blank canvas — starts from 3,00,000 BDT and is scoped honestly, never padded to look impressive. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch, bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, and you approve the full design before a single line of code is written.
Six things that decide whether low-cost software in Chattogram is a bargain or a buried cost — and how I keep it the first one.
From 50,000 BDT you pay for one senior person building your software — not a salesman, a PM and three juniors loaded into the quote. The low price comes off the overhead, never off the engineering.
I cut the eighty percent of features you will never open, not the testing or the error handling. Cheap because it does only what you need, properly — not cheap because it is half-built.
Real software handles your godown keeper and counter boy entering at the same time without corrupting a balance. That concurrency and data safety is exactly what a 20,000-taka tool quietly skips.
Bangla labels where they help and a layout built for the mid-range Android your floor staff actually carry. Software a counter boy will use daily, not abandon back to a register within a week.
No per-user dollar subscription draining your bKash every month. Pay once to build it, own the software and the data, and add users freely as the firm grows.
No code starts until you sign off the full screens and flows in Figma. If it does not match how your firm runs, we fix the design first — you never pay the second half for software you did not approve.
Picture a wholesaler off Khatunganj who wants a simple stock-and-credit system and goes for the cheapest quote in his WhatsApp groups — 18,000 taka from someone's cousin who 'does software'. For the first week it looks like a win. Then two staff enter sales at the same time and a stock count goes negative. A credit customer is shown the wrong outstanding and argues for an hour. The 'cousin' stops replying after the launch payment, so there is nobody to fix the bug before the month-end rush.
The owner is now back on Excel, out his 18,000 taka and three weeks, and more nervous about software than before he started. That is the real arithmetic of the cheapest option: the price tag was low, the total cost was the highest of any choice on the table. Cheap custom software development in Chattogram only saves money when 'cheap' refers to the absence of agency markup — not to the absence of the engineering that keeps the thing standing.
What I sell is the honest version of cheap. I build one tightly-scoped piece of custom software at a time, start by finding the two or three jobs it absolutely must do well, design those screens in Figma for your sign-off before I write any code, and then build them with the testing, the data safety and the multi-user handling a part-timer leaves out to hit a headline price.
The number stays low — focused builds from 50,000 BDT, fuller systems at 90,000 and 1,50,000, full custom platforms from 3,00,000 BDT — because there is no office, no sales team and no junior layer to feed, not because corners got cut. It is always 50% on signing and 50% on launch, and when a bug shows up before a shipment or a month-end, you message one senior operator on WhatsApp who actually wrote the code, instead of a cousin who has gone quiet.
That is the difference between low cost and false economy in Chattogram.

Straight answers to what Chattogram owners ask me first when they want cheap custom software that still works.
I give you a real figure on the first call, no quote-letter games. Focused custom tools — a single internal app, a stock-and-order tracker, a custom admin panel, a billing or attendance system — start at 50,000 BDT. 90,000 BDT covers a more complete internal system with multiple modules and user roles. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller business system tying inventory, sales or operations together with proper reporting. A full ERP or C&F/logistics platform built from scratch starts from 3,00,000 BDT, scoped honestly to your operation. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
Two reasons. First, there is no agency overhead in my price — no salesman, no project manager, no three juniors who all need paying out of your one invoice. You pay for the senior who actually builds it. Second, scope discipline: a house often quotes a full ERP with HR, accounting and a portal bolted on, when what you described is genuinely a 90,000-taka job. I build the two or three things you actually use, properly, and cut the rest. Same real engineering, none of the markup.
That fear is correct for a 20,000-taka part-timer job — those usually skip the testing, the error handling and the multi-user safety to hit the price, then go quiet after launch. My low price comes from removing agency markup and unnecessary features, not from removing the engineering that keeps software standing. You approve the full design in Figma before any code is written, the build includes proper testing and concurrency handling, and I am one accountable person on WhatsApp who wrote the code and answers when a bug shows up.
Plenty, when it is scoped tightly. At 50,000 BDT, a focused tool — stock-and-order tracker, custom admin panel, billing system, attendance or a single-purpose internal app. At 90,000 BDT, a more complete internal system with multiple modules and user roles. At 1,50,000 BDT, a fuller business system tying inventory, sales or operations together with proper reporting. The trick is not cheaper code — it is building only what your Chattogram firm actually opens daily, instead of an eighty-feature system you pay for and ignore.
That is exactly what I design for, and it is also why staying cheap and staying usable are the same job. The software ships with Bangla labels where they help, a layout built for the mid-range Android your godown keeper and counter boy carry, and each screen stripped to the few things that role needs. Software gets abandoned when it is built for the buyer, not the user — so I build for the person opening it every morning. A tool the floor ignores is the most expensive software there is, however little it cost.
A focused tool from 50,000 BDT is usually a few weeks; a fuller system or a custom platform is scoped properly once I understand your workflow, and I give you an honest timeline before you pay anything. For projects from 90,000 BDT I am happy to come to your office in Agrabad, GEC, Khatunganj, Khulshi or the port area for discovery and final sign-off. For smaller builds, WhatsApp and Google Meet save us both a day in Chattogram traffic — one senior operator does not need weekly status meetings to know where your project stands.
